Roll call remained the same. REPORTS OF OFFICERS. COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES Director of Human Services Nunez requested Council allocate funds to lease paratransit vehicles for a period of four months until the transit study is complete. The City currently contracts with DAVE Transportation to provide paratransit service. Three of the existing vehicles used to provide these services are no longer suitable because they have excessive mileage and mechanical problems. The Human Services Department is currently developing a transportation study for the City. The interim suggestion to lease three vehicles for a temporary period until the study is complete has been offered by DAVE Transportation.. This solution would have the least impact on riders and would not disrupt service. It was recommended that the City lease three vehicles from DAVE Transportation temporarily at a rate of $800 per vehicle, per month for a period of four months until the transportation study is complete. In response to Mayor pro tem Martinez, Human Services Director Nunez stated that the vehicles are being used, but because there is no agreement the City is not being billed. DAVE will decide, after the Council meeting, whether to pull the vehicles out of service or continue to operate with the old vehicles. In response to Mayor Vargas, Director Nunez stated that the paratransit vehicles are the big buses. The City of La Puente and West Covina lease their vehicles from DAVE Transportation for the same $800 fee. Mayor Vargas requested an accounting of DAVE Transportation that shows their leases and their costs. It was moved and seconded to approve the lease of three vehicles from DAVE Transportation at a rate of $800 per vehicle per month for a period of four months until the transportation study Is complete. MIS/C: MUSE/LOZANO. There were no objections. Director of Human Services Nunez requested Council authorize the purchase of a new telephone system with Phoneby.

It was recommended that Council approve the purchase of the telephone system proposed by Phoneby for the Baldwin Park Community Center, to waive the formal bidding process, and authorize staff to proceed with the installation of the phone system. In response to Councilmem ber Muse, Director Nunez stated that the system is separate from City Hall, and that the phone system will be able to send a recording of the up coming events to the person that is on hold. In response to Mayor Vargas, Director Nunez stated an allowance was made on the old phone system equipment, and the price of the system is the net cost. It was moved and seconded to approve the purchase of the telephone system from Phoneby, to waive the formal bidding procedure, and authorize staff to proceed with the installation of the phone system. MIS/C: MUSE/LOWES. There were no object ions. Director of Public Works Mousavi stated that in response to inquiries by Council regarding the needs to improve traffic and pedestrian circulation within the vicinity of Charles D. Jones Junior High School and the Intersection of Merced Avenue and Ahern Drive. Staff took traffic counts, pedestrian counts, speed surveys, reviewed accident records, and analyzed the geometric's of the street. Subsequent to the completion of data gathering, staff conducted the following traffic warrant analysis in accordance with the California Department of Transportation established procedures, and those are the procedures used in the City of Baldwin Park to install any traffic control devices: 1) with respect to traffic signals, a traffic signal is not required at this intersection; 2) a flashing beacon is not required; 3) all signs and pavement markings are appropriate and properly in place; and 4) crossing guards are required for elementary school pedestrians only. Based upon all the information, the vicinity of Charles D. Jones Junior High School along Merced Avenue and Ahern Drive do not require any further action to be taken at this time. It was recommended that Council accept and file the report and not take any further action on the subject intersection at this time. Councilmember Lowes stated that she knows that the City requires crossing guards for only elementary pedestrians. Holland Junior High School has a crossing guard that accommodates the elementary children crossing Olive or Baldwin Park Blvd. to Margaret Heath and to Santa Fe School. Some elementary school students do cross Merced to get to their elementary school, which is Vineland, and because of that, and concern for the elementary school children's safety that do have to cross Merced, she recommended that a crossing guard be hired.

So with all due respect to staff, the City needs to respond to the needs of the community over and above the requirements that are put upon us to make us do certain things. In this case, he stated, that he supports the idea of having a crossing guard in order to provide safety to the children that are going to the elementary school. It doesn't prevent accidents, but it doesn't mean we should not do anything to help protect the children. In spite of staff recommendation, Council should go ahead and provide a crossing guard at the Merced Avenue and Ahern Drive intersection. In response to Councilmember Muse, Chief Lanza stated that he did not have the exact annual figures for a crossing guard but he estimated that it cost in the area of $2,000 per year. Councilmember Muse stated that was a small price to pay for the safety of the children that have to cross at that intersection. It was moved and seconded that the City hire a crossing guard for the Merced Avenue and Ahern Drive intersection to serve the elementary school children. MIS/C: LOWES/VARGAS. There were no objections. Director of Public Works Mousavi requested Council approval of an ordinance amending the Baldwin Park Municipal Code adopting, by reference, the current editions of the new uniform codes. The building industry is regulated by a number of codified laws so that consistent energy efficient and structurally sound buildings are the end result of construction efforts. The City utilizes these codes by adopting them by reference into the Municipal Code. Prior to adoption by reference, Notice of Public Hearing must be posted. The new uniform codes proposed to be adopted are Uniform Building Code, 1994 Edition, Uniform Fire Code, 1994 Edition, the National Electrical Code, 1993 Edition, the Uniform Housing Code, 1994 Edition, the Uniform Mechanical code, 1994 Edition, the Uniform Plumbing Code, 1994 Edition, and the Uniform Swimming Pool Code, 1994 Edition.

The project was named Partners Against Alcohol Related Crimes PMRC). The new PAARC program was proposed to include the participation of three cities, West Covina, Covina and Baldwin Park. The requested amount for the grant was $96,674. The tri-city proposal was approved by ABC with training scheduled to begin after January 1,1996. Enforcement activities will include, but not be limited to, bar checks, off-sale establishment undercover operations to enforce sales to minors, and DUI checkpoints. The teams will operate on an overtime basis, grant funds covering the costs. The overtime status of the task force will not impact normal staffing levels of the department. Staff recommended Council approval of the resolution, authorizing participation in the ABC grant named Partners Against Alcohol Related Crimes. City Attorney Bower stated just for the record, that the Attorney's Office will go along with recommending approval of the resolution. This resolution was provided by the State as the resolution we need to adopt, it's less than a model resolution. There are several inconsistencies in it, it authorizes the submission of a proposal to ABC for the grant, obviously that has already been done. It talks about approving a contract which the State is not even gotten to us yet. Its ambiguous as to who the authorizing agency is, and frankly includes items that should really be in the contract and not the resolution. Since this is the one that the State says to use, and we do not want to jeopardies getting these funds, we would recommend going ahead and approving it." It was moved and seconded to approve Resolution No. 95-79, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK AUTHORIZING THE PARTICIPATION OF THE BALDWIN PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT AS A CO- GRANTEE IN A STATE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL GRANT WITH THE CITIES OF WEST COVINA AND COVINA A."

In response to Councilmember Lozano, Chief Lanza stated that there has been a challenge to the San Jose Curfew Law by the ACLU and a California Supreme Court agreed to hear it. Council will be updated on any decisions that are rendered. City Attorney Bower stated that there are two cases the Supreme Court's looking at 1) curfew law, that is actually Bakersfield, and 2) the TRO against the gangs is the San Jose Law. They both have wide impact on the City and the City Attorney's Office is monitoring them and we will get decisions that uphold the City's power in both of those areas.

Mayor pro tem Martinez requested a Study Session or report be addressed pertaining to people riding in the parade that were candidates for office. He stated that he does not want to turn the parade into a political event. City Clerk Gair stated that she had been warned by American Legal that we have a very weak parade ordinance. When we recodified the code, they pointed out that we need to amend the ordinance because of a lot of the requests by different groups to enter a parade, we are skating on thin ice with the ordinance we have. The people have first amendment rights and we had people riding in the parade who were incumbent board members who were active candidates. To deny somebody else the right to participate might put the City in jeopardy. In response to Councilmember Muse, City Clerk Gair stated the request for bingo on Garvey started out being denied. They opened up administrative offices for this Children's Positive I D bingo non-profit organization, and that was all approved. Then they applied for bingo as a non-profit group, and they sounded like they wanted to use the whole building to play bingo. They could not do that, because it takes 35 parking place per sq. foot of the building. The group went back with an attorney and shrunk the size of their bingo playing area to conform with the parking lot spaces. There was nothing in their application that would allow us to deny it. We still can request by State Law 1% of their profits after a certain amount, the only predicament this puts the City in is that, we have never done this to St. John's and others. Our attorney has advised me that we cannot discriminate. We will now have to ask that all bingo groups and make that same contribution. The l.D. organization can only have 45 people play at a time. This is in the redevelopment area and hopefully someone will come by and want to buy all that battery tainted land and take the whole thing. In response to Councilmember Muse, City Clerk Gair stated that Code Enforcement has tried to monitor the auto repair on Susquehanna. When the Code Enforcement Officer approached the owner of the property recognized our officer, and he did not open for business that day. They seem to be working on Friday's and Saturday's and as soon as we bring on board our other Code Enforcement Officers those days will be covered.
